There is no certain point of view about craps history even nowadays. The history of the dice and the dice games history in general is few thousands years old. But modern craps is much younger - only hundred years old. The scientists have some different points of view about craps history and accept a few facts as true. First, it is known that the craps game we know and play today originated from an ancient English game called Hazard. Some scholars believe that Hazard descended from an Arabic dice game Al Zar and then came to Europe with the merchants. Thanks to some evidences for dice games even in Egypt dating back to 2600 BC we can conclude that dice games were really created in the Arabic world. Some evidences indicate that in the time of the Holy Roman Empire the game of craps was also popular. Being in camp, Roman soldiers used to shave down pig knuckles into the shapes of cubes, and toss them onto their inverted shields as a form of entertainment. Hence we get the term "to roll the bones". The game Hazard became very popular in England and it was played almost in every tavern in the country. Many of the nobility played this game in luxuries casinos. Having adopted the game from their neighbors, the French changed the name of it.*The game was called Craps which is a corruption of "Crabs". The game could have been brought to America either by the French or by the British. By the 19th century craps was simplified and the modern layout of the game was invented by John H. Winn. The years passed and there was a a decrease in the popularity of craps at the beginning of the 1990's, but the Internet age helped the game to gain popularity again. A great number of people play craps online nowadays.
